This game has good art. Decent music. Well done animations.

Story is meh its pretty forgettable.
H scenes are also incredibly meh, they are well drawn and well animated but are so tame they are boring.

As for the card battling system, the system is good in theory, but the massive RNG turns it into garbage.

You can have a well built deck and be the best player in the world, if the game doesn't give you the right orbs you can't play any cards and you lose. Obviously the AI doesn't have any of these problems they can play all their cards every turn.

Basically every run ends with me getting killed by RNG not giving me the right orbs and can't play cards and die, I finally gave up.

This is the new golden boy for Khorne, if you thought Skarbrand was OP at painting the map, well think again. They just nerfed him but he's still pretty OP. Well made DLC and well designed lord.

Norsca is pretty much fixed now as a faction, its just the territory that kinda sucks to build an empire in.

Gorbad is kinda meh, seems like filler in this DLC, his new "mecanic" is basically passive buffs that don't come anywhere close to usefulness or coolness as what the Ogres or Khorne got, he's basically just the old Grimgor campaign, stats in exactly the same place but now there's a crapton more legendary lords around you and it ends up being a pretty hard campaign unless you cheese around with diplomacy a bit. The new units are not really useful that I've found.

All in all its not bad its just kinda meh.

Probably the most unique campaign that you have in the game so far. Being able to freelance join wars and take territory or just make loads of money is great, almost feels like cheating even more than Tzeetch at times, you take a contract, join a war, take their stuff, and after the contract's done you automatically make peace and all the negative reputation impact goes to whoever hired you so no one can get mad you took their stuff.

This was a new and incredibly fun campaign, I hope they add mercenary factions like this to the game and to future total war games.

Very detailed and probably the most complicated race to build stuff and manage on the campaign map that they have in the game, chaos dwarves are very fun and very strong.

CA released this in a crap state but they took the L and tried to make amends, I can respect that, I would say this DLC is pretty much fixed now, if you like the game and the factions, get it.

I was surprised by old grandma from Kislev, I was not expecting to like her or her campaign but turns out I liked her the most out of the 3 lords, she's got a pretty hard campaign but she's really OP so she can overcome it.

I'm not particularly a Nurgle enjoyer but I did enjoy this new campaign, tons of cool additions, rot knights are the standout unit, and Tamurkhan himself is pretty badass.

The best dwarf faction now by far, I'm a bit sad that its almost pointless to play other dwarf factions now because of how OP this one is.

The best addition to the Thrones of Decay DLC, well worth the price.

Great lord and fun campaign, lots of amazing additions to the empire and Elspeth's mecanics are really well done.
